These days it is very common for people to keep their cats indoors because of the fear of losing a pet. While keeping your cat indoors eliminates certain dangers for your furry friend, there are a few things you should ask yourself:

    * Is your cat sometimes aggressive?
    * Is your cat getting any stimulation?
    * Is your cat over-weight?

If your indoor-only cat is over-weight, destructive, or aggressive, it could be because your cat is not getting enough exercise or maybe your cat is just bored silly. Indoor-only cats lack the stimulation indoor/outdoor cats get, and without any intellectual challenges, indoor-only cats can get very moody.

There is a simple solution. Introducing the Kittywalk Systems Outdoor Cat Enclosure, it's the ultimate outdoor playground for your indoor cat!

Let them experience the outdoors in a safe controlled area. The stimulation of being outside with the sounds and the smells and excitement of other critters is sure to promote a new playfulness in your cat. You will find their aggressive behavior will decrease and as they get more exercise and they will become healthier.

Kittywalk Systems outdoor cat playpen is designed to be connected together to form different configurations so your indoor cat can have plenty of outside room in which to roam and many different things to do.

The Kittywalk Systems Town & Country Collection Includes a Deck and Patio set, Lawn Tunnel, Penthouse and Gazebo. You may also purchase each piece separately to attach to the collection, or to build your own custom setup.

Don't forget, plenty of love and attention, and of course nothing beats their ultimate thrill of hunting and stalking, so make sure to have several cat toys for them to play with in their new cat playpen.Pet Supplies

A lot of people think of cats as disposable and interchangeable, when each <a href="http://www.wayofcats.com">cat</a> is really special and unique. If people took the time to be affectionate with the cat, they would discover that.

My wife and I have lived in our house for about 11 years now. We have several cats and a couple of dogs and a house guest in out basement. It started about 6 years ago and am unsure why. Our cats first let us know about our visitor. There is one spot in our basement were they tend too focus on and talk too. I've done what I can to figure it out. I've cleaned the corner makeing sure there aren't any cob webs, checked it out for spiders and other bugs and haven't found anything. Yet they still on occasion talk to that corner, no other location does this happen, only in that one corner. The cat will look up at a spot roughly 6 feet from the floor and sit there talking too it. Then after a couple a minutes get up and go about there buisness.The wife and i have also begun noticeing after awhile, differant feelings in the basement. Sometimes it's just fine, some times it feels heavy, and other times it just feels like someone is watching.  Outside of that, nothing much really seems to happen down there, with the exception that I was down there doing some demolition work taking up raised flooring and tearing paneling off the false walls. We had a leak develop in one of the walls and i wanted to get all of the wood and stuff taken out and the basement walls and concrete floor cleaned up before mold had a chance to set in. Any way, as i was cleaning up and hauling some of the wood outside. I heard a distinct, but barely audiable voice say something. Couldn't really make out what was said. I was home alone, didn't have a tv or radio on and my nieghbor was at work. Never heard a voice down there again yet. Am planing on putting a couple of night vision cams down there, that have built in audio mics, and see what happens.Now, more recently yet, our visitor, we call him/her Casper, has taken to occasionally coming up stairs. I fell asleep on the recliner about two weeks ago. I woke up at one point, got up and went to the bathroom then just headed back to the recliner instead of fighting with my wife for space on the bed. I sat down leaned back and got commfy again. When a few seconds later I heard foot steps in the kitchen, which the door is right next too were the recliner sits. First I thought it was a cat then it hit me, the steps sounded like somebody wearing a hard soled shoe, like boots, and all but one of the cats was outside, the one cat in the house was asleep in the bathroom on the sink.We've come to accept our guest. And we share a peaceful existance with it. Now to figure out who our guest is and why they are there.

I think I may have a feline ghost in my house. I once came into my room and saw something black and shadowy dart under my bed. I checked under it and nothing was there. I do have cats of my own but I know it wasn't either of them after finding both of them in my basement. Also, I always feel like I'm being watched in a dead-end hallway right outside my room, which is ironically where the cat's scratching post is. I see shadows there too that I know aren't mine. Activity just started acting up right after we got a new fridge, so I was thinking that could have influenced it. I'm going to take a few pictures of that hallway pretty soon. If I find anything, I'll post it. Edit: I did take those pics and sure enough there was an orb in the top right corner of that hallway for a couple of them. Might just be dust but... Edit: I just remembered, I had a kitten who met his violent death in the room adjacent to that. My now deceased dog killed him for getting in his food dish...

This is a personal one, and my absolute favorite of my own ghost tales.  I grew up in a good-sized apartment in California, somewhere in L.A. county.  We got the apartment for two reasons - one, my dad was friends with the owner's son, and two, because the little old lady who'd lived there until recently was struck by a car in the crosswalk down the street and died as a result of her injuries.It wasn't until we got our cat, Scamp, that we started noticing a distinct pattern to one of what we thought to be 'entities' in our apartment.  He was all-black except for a small triangle of white on his chest and nowhere else, and was supposed to be my cat, but I was young, and mom fed him,  so eventually he slept with her instead, and pretty much ignored me at all costs, unless he was sick or mad at me.  Some nights, though, I would be laying in bed, and I'd feel him come up to lay with me in the dead of night, when it was dark.  There would be the familiar pressure of a cat's slight form in the crook of my knee, where he liked to sleep (with mom).  I'd reach down to pet what I thought was Scamp, and come up empty- and cold-handed.  No cat.Nothing was there, but a cold spot, and the covers clinging to me like they'd been pushed down.  I could still feel a cat laying on me.  Same thing would happen to either one of us on the couch, watching tv.Other days, we'd get up to open the balcony door to let the cat out in the sunshine (second-and-a-half floor of the building, he couldn't get down or loose), only once we got to the door...no cat.  Cat was sitting next to mom the whole time, or was in her bedroom, sound asleep.We'd see the black sillouhuette of a cat heading out from the bedroom at times, coming through the hallway.  What we thought was Scamp would stop, look at us, and we could see him from the corner of our eyes.  Turn to greet him - no cat.  Anywhere.  Out on the balcony for the last two hours.Finally, we started asking questions of our downstairs neighbor who'd lived there twenty years or so.  The lady who lived in the apartment before us had cats.  At least one of them was known to have died in the apartment.  Apparently even felines can have issues leaving their earthly homes.  Now that both mom and I have moved over time, we both actually miss the cat ghost, occasionally.  It was like having a second pet we never had to buy food for.
